Just 90 minutes after a gunman killed 9 men and women in San Jose, Linda Finn of the Rhode Island Coalition Against Gun Violence appeared on GoLocal LIVE to discuss what the group says is the need for the passage of critical legislation in Rhode Island.
Finn says the majority of members of the House and Senate support the passage of legislation and that it is critical for supporters to focus pressure on Senate President Dominick Ruggerio and Speaker of the House Joe Shekarchi.
There are three major bills that have a strong potential for passage in 2021 legislation that bans high capacity magazines, another bill that places restrictions on straw purchasers, and legislation to prohibit guns in schools.
